Plot/Campsite/Villager Reset + Cycling Chat Thread

Yes, I've decided that if he plots 1 tile to the left again, I'll just leave him be. My girlfriend has been holding Blaire for me for days now, and it feels awful knowing I'm not the only one not playing because of this baby squirrel ;n;
..but that means that right after I'm done with him, I need to cycle and then plot reset again, ughh xD

i thought he was your last one? that stinkss

He's my tenth, but I need to move out Miranda and Julian, move in Blaire, and get Stitches. But Marshal is my favourite so I really need him to be perfect, so I think I'll just let Blaire go (my gf wants to reset). Plus I want her in Julian's spot and I'd rather sell him than void him, and that will take a few more days.

guess we'll both still be resetting for awhile longer then :p
 
decided to settle with the 3 spaces apart rather than 2, got tired of plot resetting. Now i can finally play my gameee
 
I'm so happy to hear about other people doing cycling to get villagers they like. I'm kind of new to any kind of animal crossing "community" , so happy to know I'm not alone with doing this! I feel like I'm getting every villager except my dreamies... I won't give up though! I just have to decide if I want to keep going until I have them all, or quit after a certain number just so I can enjoy the game for once
 
Today I decided to try resetting to try and get Marina to show up in Mabure's campsite.

It's...not working, to say the least. At one point no one showed up at least ten times in a row, and when someone shows up it's someone I'm not interested in (although I did seriously consider going with Jacques, and Whitney showed up once). Talking to Rover for the umpteenth bloody time is really starting to lose its appeal.

Naming the characters after random gibberish and/or internet memes has been strangely amusing, though.
 
Third day plot resetting for Knox... Thinking of overwriting his move in with someone else but dunno if it'd trigger the 16 cycle. He plots close to where i want him every 50 - 100 tries but I want him in a really specific spot since hes a part of my medieval town.
My friend got Lily into boxes for me to overwrite but apparently I haven't cycled 16 yet?? He also has groucho but I was stupid enough to put a pwp on his spot I cant remove in time.. So its either praying Knox plots where I want or someone showing up with Bonbon / Colton :LL

you can only invite 1 villager a day, so if u r loading your kast play day b4 knox moved in and that happens to be the day u invited knox, you wont ever be able to invite another villager to overwrite him.

overwriting invites doesnt trigger the 16 cycle bc they havent plotted their house yet.

ie:

8/20 - invited knox (last play date)
8/21 - plot resettibg knox

results = no overwriting allowed

8/20 - invited knox
8/21 - no plot from knox yet

results = u can invite someone else and overwrite his invite

Don't all villagers move in when invited from other towns the next day? I don't really search for the plots... only check the place he should move into >:s

I've had a villager set up a plot on my town after coming from somebody's void, only to go and invite Phoebe which overwrote the void move-in. So I'm wondering if it's the actual invitation that locks them in?

If he's moving in the next day after you invited him, you can't overwrite his plot by inviting Lily or Colton or anyone else because you can only invite 1 villager per day and you already invited knox.

I've had a villager set up a plot on my town after coming from somebody's void, only to go and invite Phoebe which overwrote the void move-in. So I'm wondering if it's the actual invitation that locks them in?

How did you know a villager from the void was coming? unless you started a day with a new char and saw the plot? And then went back to the day before to invite someone?

The invitation doesnt lock them in bc I can invite Ruby from my campsite and the next day, if her plot is not there, I can invite Ankha and Ankha will move in instead of ruby.


You can only invite 1 villager per day, so I can't invite Ankha the same day I invited Ruby.

Yes, exactly. I realized that since I had only 9 villagers at the time, I might have picked up somebody from my cycling town's void, so I decided to check with a new character and saw a plot come up. I just invited Phoebe, she agreed to come and set up in my town just fine. That other guy (Curt I believe) never showed up.

That's why I'm asking if the invitation is what locks them in. If I could've done this and whether they're from the void or moving in by invite doesn't matter, then Dino should be able to overwrite Knox as well.

That's what i'm trying to explain. Knox didn't come from the void, she invited him and even if she goes back to her last play date and try to invite another animal. She can't because the game mechanics only allow you to invite 1 villager per day and she already invited Knox. So he's moving in definitely and she can't change this.

It worked for you because your villager wasn't invited, he was coming from the void which allowed you to overwrite his move in by inviting phoebe.

It works the same for campsite invites as well because I believe they move in 2 days after the invite which allows you to overwrite their move in if you invite someone else the next day.

One question though, my game's currently on the 6th of September I think, and Marshal's my tenth villager. Usually, as soon as I finish plot resetting, I TT until they're settled, and then TT backwards, but I normally have 9 villagers instead of 10. Should I do this with 10? I have 8 dreamies now so I'm scared to TT. Or should I wait until someone pings to move before I TT backwards?
